4. A REIGN Promised (1:4-8)
Major obstacle – understanding the kingdom
“Wait” – What the Father had promised
Mt. 4:17; Lk. 3:16; Jn. 14:16
Two promises – the establishment of His kingdom and
the coming of the Holy Spirit (Mk. 9:1)
Still the Apostles don’t get it
“I am not going to give you God’s calendar, but this
how you can know the kingdom has come: You shall receive
power when the Holy Spirit comes” (Mk. 9:1!)
When the Spirit comes the Kingdom comes!
The kingdom cannot confined to the borders of Israel
but is a universal kingdom
